The Jimi Hendrix Experience - The Wind Cries Mary

The Jimi Hendrix Expereince - The Wind Cries Mary

Lyrics:
After all the jacks are in their boxes,
and the clowns have all gone to bed,
you can hear happiness staggering on down the street,
footprints dress in red.

And the wind whispers Mary.

A broom is drearily sweeping
up the broken pieces of yesterday's life.
Somewhere a Queen is weeping,
somewhere a King has no wife.

And the wind it cries Mary.

The traffic lights they turn blue tomorrow
And shine their emptiness down on my bed,
The tiny island sags downstream
'Cos the life that they lived is dead.

And the wind screams Mary.

Will the wind ever remember
The names it has blown in the past,
And with this crutch, its old age and its wisdom
It whispers, "No, this will be the last."

And The Wind Cries Mary.

After all the jacks are in their boxes,

and the clowns have all gone to bed. Jimi was not only the best guitarist of all time, but the man was a poet as well. Just compare the lyrics to his songs to the crap being put out today by "artists" like Gaga. I seriously doubt that 40 years from now people will be listening to her, but I guarantee you they will still be listening to Jimi.

@StephanieMariewalton Lil Wayne/Drake of his past? Are you shitting me? Jimi Hendrix actually played guitar while Lil Wayne can't. Jimi is a poet unlike Lil Wayne. For example check out this stupid lyric from Wayne: "When it Waynes it pours." What kinda shit is that? And also Lil Wayne re-inforces racial stereotypes and prejudice while Jimi overcame them.

Jimi Hendrix = Talent

Here's my lyrics translation:

There was a drunk girl/woman named Mary walking down the street late at night. She doesn't remember at first what happened, but slowly does. Mary cries because her husband/boyfriend parts with her. Mary's heart is empty and nothing is the same for her anymore. Mary commits suicide.

@StephanieMariewalton You sir are nothing but a fucking moron, in scale from 1 to 100 your "artists" are probably on 2 and Hendrix is on 99.99.9999 stop being an asshole!
